Custom Stream Alerts for Your Channel

Stream alerts are the notifications that pop up on screen when someone follows you, subscribes or donates. They’re small, but they’re the moment your community sees that you noticed them. At Epik Streamer we design custom alerts in your style, and you buy them per unit at $6 each.

What an alert is and who it’s for

An alert combines a visual element (an animation or image), a line of text and usually a sound, triggered when something happens on your channel. A la carte alerts are useful if:

• Your overlay is ready and you only need the notifications.
• You want to replace your provider’s generic alerts with something that looks like you.
• You want to start with the most important ones (for example, the sub alert) and add the rest later.

The most common types of alerts

• Follow. Triggers when someone starts following you.
• Subscription. Celebrates someone who subscribes, renews or gifts a subscription.
• Donation or bits. Recognizes direct financial support.
• Raid. Welcomes a community arriving from another channel.

You don’t need to cover them all on day one. With the two or three that happen most on your stream, the feel of your channel already changes.

What the service includes

You buy alerts per unit. Each alert is designed around you and comes with one revision. In your brief you tell us which ones you need and the style you’re after. Any other piece or format you didn’t order is treated as an additional service. If you also need the rest of your channel, the Epik pack includes alerts along with a logo, overlays, frames, panels, banners, emotes, badges and multiplatform OBS setup.

How they’re set up in OBS

According to the OBS documentation, alerts are added with a Browser source. The general process is:

1. Your alerts provider gives you a URL (it may be called Overlay URL, Widget URL or Alert URL).
2. In OBS you pick the scene and add a Browser source.
3. You paste the URL and adjust the width and height to the size you need.

You don’t need plugins. If you’d like someone to set it all up for you, OBS setup is a separate piece.

How it works

1. You buy on PayPal. One-time payment, in full.
2. You send your brief over WhatsApp or Discord, with your personality, your colors and the references you like.
3. Production and delivery. They start once the brief is complete and the payment is made.
4. Revision and approval. One revision included per piece; from the second, there’s a charge. With payment in full and your final approval, usage is assigned to you for your personal brand and channel.

Common mistakes with alerts

• Alerts that run too long. If every notification lasts forever, you interrupt your own stream. Think about duration and about alerts stacking up.
• Unreadable text. A small line over a busy background can’t be read. Watch the contrast.
• Uncontrolled sound. A very loud sound annoys your audience and you. Check the volume in the OBS mixer before going live.
• A disconnected style. An alert that doesn’t match your overlay feels stuck on. Share your references to keep things consistent.
• Ordering everything at once with no priorities. Start with the alerts that fire most often.

A single alert or a pack

For one or two alerts, buying per unit is the direct option. If you’re refreshing the whole channel, the Epik pack includes them with the rest of the pieces. To build the visual base before your alerts, look at overlays and emotes. And if you want to go deeper into how to set them up and which best practices to follow, read the stream alerts guide.
